Retrospring is shutting down on 1st March, 2025 Read more
hi sorry let me re word that. do any of you have a fear that like someone online who you probably don't even know is gonna stalk you or something? not in an egotistic way, like a genuine just "wow! anyone can find me right now. and know things about me. that's... so scary!" and if so does that change how you act. i may as well js do a qotd atp but i'm curious. less so irl genuinely but more so online; are you sitting around waiting for someone to say "hey... was this you?" and it WAS?
I am worried hence why I keep this site and my general websurfing/doomscrolling away from my personal life. I have a persona on here, but it's just an exaggerated version of a me no one knows, except for Amelia, and Amelia has this account. She's just not interested in this.
In the past, I was more… relaxed? I would go on my Twitter or Discord (though, usually private) and talk about how my day went, places I visited, and so on. While that by itself isn’t the end of the Worlds, I try to wait a little before doing so, now… I’ve also stopped sharing many details about my life. Maybe I’ll share an anecdote once or twice, but that’s it. I started being more cautious after accidentally doxxing myself to my friends. I trust them enough, but still. Even if I don’t live there anymore, it’s still not that great.
I think this could happen, but if you notice, I try not to associate too much with different socials (lol). While my Tumblr is linked here, other than that, all other socials have barely any connection, if at all. So I’m not exactly waiting… If someone were to recognize me, that’s fine! I don’t have anything to be ashamed about.
I've had this fear become real, actually. People have uncovered things about me by searching my usernames, nothing problematic, but things I'm slightly uncomfortable with. But I've kinda just learned to accept it, and hope that it doesn't happen too often.
im less scared of it more like........ kinda waiting? i think it'll be funny
Not really , although I suppose it depends on which one of us ( / sys ) you ask .
